Luckily I have a Samsung Smart TV so it works flawlessly for me along with the other apps Sammy provides for TV interactions
So far I've used it successfully on a TV, a Verizon FiOS box, a Yamaha receiver and a DVD player.
Works great on my panasonic tv, vizeo tv, and all related cable boxes and av receivers

Tried in on my two Sonys and Tivos. Works great. Simple setup...I just followed the prompts after running the app. You might get more useful assistance if you specify what kind of problem you are having.
I use it on the really old TV's at school and it works perfectly. It amazes everyone and freaks the teachers out.
when you open up the application it asks you to either press the power on and you keep pressing until it finds the work code , or you have the tv on and you press chan up untill it changes the channel , like most common universal remotes , it does not read ir to ir remote codes ... , so select the app , goto the remote it may ask you do you have a subscription to a cable satellite service if you do select the operator , and then your ZIP code, then setup your universal remote via the power button just keep pressing untill your TV works if you have some obscure TV it could take a while ..
dvd player?
I got it to work with my comcast box and vizio tv, but I can not find the option to add another device.
How do I add a blueray player?
I had hoped this would be a universal type remote..
No option to add a Roku makes it worthless for me..
Disabled it for now maybe they add more features later on..

How did you get it to work with your receiver? I can't find an option to add additional devices. Only thing I saw were for a TV and set-top box.

When you press buttons like volume or fast forward it will ask you what device you want to send that command to. Select new device

Hi all, I was looking at my shift, and even though it says it doesn't have video-out capabilities I see that the charging port is micro-hdmi. Is it possible to buy a micro-hdmi to hdmi cable and watch netflix and stuff on my TV?
That's micro-USB, not micro-hdmi. You use it to connect to your PC or Mac.

There is that samsung media streamer that got posted on the portal awhile back. That would be the only way I think, and it would require you have a compatible samsung tv. Or you might be able to use one of those google tv devices to stream from your phone (was that one of the features? I forget)
I use imedia share to stream to my samsung tv. Can stream things already on your phone but not netflix.

Don't think it will work for Netflix , but it does work for the other stuff on your phone. You can give THIS a try, see if it works for you.
Hey there guys,
Just a quick one in case anyone doesn't know, but when setting up a remote on the TV app, on cable box, if you scroll down to Microsoft and use that option, it allows you to use your TV remote to control your Xbox!

Nice one, very good info. . . .
That's cool. Is it better than Smartglass?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Smart glass connects through WiFi and has deep integration in the Xbox. This simply allows you to power on/off your Xbox, navigate around and select stuff in Netflix etc. Perfect for me as I have an Xbox and tv in the bedroom which is mainly used for dvds and Netflix.
smartglass is different and has many more features, but having one remote to turn your tv and Xbox on is amazing.
Works a treat thanks don't even need to leave the šofa to turn on the Xbox now lolz

HTC must publish a website for IR so we can find updates and contributions for many devices like xbox360,DSLR,TVs...

It's something my dealer put in as an aftermarket navigation unit. It's a Chinese unit that's distributed in North America by "Rosen Electronics". Model number is DS-HY1120-P11, special-fit for 2011-2013 Hyundai Sonatas.
That being said, any head unit with an AUX-in will work.

Using openelec?
Same setup used pretty much here but without inverter.
Soon will add in a 2.5" HD to store some media without needing to connect to home media server.
Previous experience is that the HD generates noise, classic alternator whine.

No, using RaspBMC at the moment. I like OpenELEC but you can't launch a web browser with it, so I went with RaspBMC and the Advanced Launcher trick to get Chrome working. I've got the wifi dongle in the Pi and I just turn on my wifi hotspot on my cellphone and voila - internet browsing in the car
I've also got an NFC tag in the car that my phone scans (with the screen off, thanks to the Xposed hack on Android) which turns my Bluetooth and Wifi Hotspot on when I enter the car, and off when I exit.
That's pretty cool the nfc!
Only use openelec so its easier to store user data on usb. Help with updates and not rebuilding library.
Great through a stereo! Sub woofer, gun shots lol
15 years ago had an mini crt screen and installed that in car, then the n64 got added . Multiplayer goldeneye, bong mix lol. Those were the days :angel:

Do you have any reference material on how to get an MCE remote working with the Pi? Or, does it just work out of the box when the USB dongle is plugged in?

How do you deal with the engine startup?
does the USB Hub have some kind of safety feature that helps protect against overcharging, or does the inverter help there?
if so, do you have a link to that inverter? looking to do samt mod, but haven't found a safety feature to prevent overcharge during engine startup.
So you use the screen of the car to display stuff from your rasp pi? And you have a sonata? What's the screen resolution?

Touchscreen doesn't work, gotta use the remote. I'm sure there's a way to jack into the touch, but that's WAY too advanced for my limited skillset

AllCast is also an alternative if you have a roku or apple TV. I have tested it on both and movies play flawlessly. It also supports viewing pictures and streaming music.

The miracast adapters above are needed to do full second screen mirroring. Hopefully Roku will update their device soon to allow it as well.

Yeah, personally, I'd stay away from the "HDX Certified" Netgear Push2TV device. It is utter rubish. All kinds of resolution issues (you can fix with an app, but still, shouldn't have too) & the audio is marginal at best. I have an Onkyo TX5010-NR, which is one of the baddest receivers around (& I've tested/owned lots). Chromecast will support 5.1 Dolby & PCM, so will numerous other options, including SlimPort (I have an HDMI 1.4b certified SlimPort/MyDP dongle) which also works flawlessly in regards to audio, even up to 8 channels. The NetGear HDX Certified device though only outputs 2.0 PCM. It's watchable, but nowhere near as enjoyable as other devices.
Hi there people
I have my HTC m8 a few days now and I am absolutely happy with it so I was playing around with it and noticed that you can create custom IR commands with the tv app
So I went on and grabbed my RC helicopter and its IR remote and started configuring it and boom!
It went flawless I could control the helicopter with my phone!
So I was wondering does anybody have anything else that can be done with the IR blaster?
Post down below I'd like to hear

I did that with my M7 last year. The bar went nuts! I've noticed now many bars have put black tape over the IR receiver to stop my fun!
I have mine setup to contol the lighting on my PC, and to turn on/off a relay to power my chromecast (I use a PC monitor so no ir on it). It's also nice to just not have to find a remote for the TVs around my house since I rarely touch them.

The first way you can just do the unknown device and program it yourself, but that sucked for layout so i got a free appletv ir app off google play. Much easier and same setup as an apple tv remote.

Can we push the envelope of this thread a little further?
1. Which are the best Play Store apps for IR apps, it seems the two would be: IR Blaster, and Smart IR Remote? Comments anyone?
2. Has anyone applied any super geek/scientific inquiry research to the output in these IR units? What amount of lumens/rads/calories does our unit put out....vs the S5,S4, M7 etc units output?
I ask because the HTC TV app doesn't work the way I want it for my Home Theater components, and I can't seem to use it to drive my A/C units.

Well I can tell you that the smart IR Remote is very pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Don't have that many obscure devices, but everything I have thrown at it (Tv's, home cinema, the usual stuff) have all worked flawlessly.
The library has got me covered thus far.
I also use Smart ir remote. It can be a littly quirky to set up, but it has by far the best interface.
It is also super configurable. I have it set up for every device in my home. In fact it actually enabled me to access the service menu on my LG TV and enable movie playback from USB. I tried loads of others, but this is the most polished and complete.
